'Turn-Key' Brewery Put Up For Sale In Colchester

COLCHESTER, CT — Looking for an opportunity to run your own brewery?

Then the former Stranger Tides Brewing facility in Colchester might be for you. The business is for sale as a "turn-key brewery" including all the equipment needed.

The establishment at 199 Old Hartford Road is listed as permanently closed.

Jeremy Struzik, owner of the former brewery, posted the following: "Unfortunately due to health issues, selling my turn key brewery. You’d be buying all the equipment, tables, chairs, etc. You’d lease the space. 4bbl system (made 3-5bbls depending on ABV) 3 - 7.5 bbl fermenters 3 -3.5bbl fermenters, BCSC Controller, 44 kegs, walk-in, chiller, etc. too much to list. Ask any brewer, licenses are the hardest and most expensive when you need engineers and architects. PM me for more details."

The price to buy the brewery is listed at $72,000, down from $80,000. The new operator would lease the building.

During the summer, Stranger Tides posted on its Facebook page that they were booked doing showings of the space. "Not gonna lie, emotional on the inside, but enjoying seeing the excitement of those looking to start their own brewery."

Stranger Tides' owner announced in June that it was "time for a new chapter in our lives." At that time, they announced they would be putting the brewery up for sale.
